This picture was taken on July 10, 2010.  The day we were flying Larry and Laura Jo to Texas for treatment at the Burzynski Clinic.  Laura Jo received her diagnosis of Stage 4 Adenocarcinoma of the Left Lung with metastasis to the spine, Lymph nodes, and 42 lesions in the brain on July 8, 2010.  The doctors who gave her this diagnosis gave her 3 weeks to live. 
On March 23, 2012 Laura Jo passed away.  We ended up getting almost 2 extra years with her and during that time she had a very good quality of life.  We even had to tell her she needed to slow down, stop working and relax.  She continued to be very active and was never bedridden from treatment.   In her last month, she ended up acquiring pneumonia which resulted in her having difficulty with taking the medicine.  That gave her cancer cells the opportunity to go wild and take over.   In her last week, she was cognitive and aware, even able to still ambulate with minimal assistance.  She passed away very peacefully.  We strongly believe that Dr B's treatment is very non-toxic and is anyone's best chance at beating cancer with very minimal side effects.  Even though Laura Jo didn't win the battle, she always felt that Texas was her second birth state because she was given a second life there.  She also loved all of the Angel's at Dr B clinic.  They are the most upbeat, helpful, and caring staff.  We have made life long connections with them.
